Bored of the dull colors and same old furniture set ups? Don't be hesitant to use bold colors when you bring home the Mexican style. Dominated by reds, browns, and rustic shades, these daring colors bring a cozy and earthy feeling. To have an element of bold and to keep it subtle, is the key to making your home an authentic Mexican in decor.

For the Living Room

Choose a low and comfortable seating made out of rustic wood. Use a melamine polish for your furniture, to retain the look of the old looking wood. For a center table, pick up a mosaic top on a dark shade of wood with curved legs. To make cleaning easier, put a glass top over the mosaic. You can upholster the living room in leather, to get Mexico's true feel. Woolen and hand woven rugs in vibrant colors go perfectly with the decor. Accessorize your walls with old-fashioned wooden frames or a typical cowboy hat!

For the Kitchen

Armoires and cabinets are a must if you are revamping your kitchen, the Mexican way. You can get your armoires carved in traditional style for a slightly vintage look. If you also have a dining area in your kitchen, then match it with the rest of your theme. Go in for wooden chairs and tables with leather upholstery to bring out the Mexican feel in the kitchen. Wrought iron lampshades with yellow lighting will add to the Mexican touch you are trying to create. A warm woolen rug in a rustic shade or any other shade of red will surely transport you to the land of Native Americans.

For the Bedrooms

For adding an earthy appeal to your bedroom, add furniture made out of pine or maple. Change the decorative items of wood and glass to wrought iron items. Unique handmade Mexican pottery can add some interest to the room. Keep one wall plastered or textured for the rugged look. A simple valance will be a complete makeover for your bed. Cane or wooden shutters for the windows are typical Mexican ways of decorating a bedroom. Bedside lamps in your room can have light shades with a yellow lighting. Spice up your bedroom the Mexican way!

For other rooms, you don't have to go in for anything fancy that will pinch your pocket. Warm colors and rustic or wooden furniture can do the work. Smart shopping is the key to explore your Mexican inspiration.

The Aztecs, Spaniards, and the Europeans have all contributed in a big way to the development of Mexican architecture. The Mexicans have seen their style of decorating go from Aztec to high tech! Though change remained a constant factor in Mexico's history of architecture, it never deviated from superior quality of work. The Mexican style of furniture is an emulation of that same quality and art. Dominated with antiques and intricate craftsmanship, Mexican style of decorating brings home a quaint feeling of the West. Hope you enjoy it!
